​Aquentium Announces GLOBAL Opportunities OZONE Sanitation SystemS

Ozone has a variety of uses in the food, beverage, medical, and hospitality industries. Water containing low concentrations of ozone gas can be sprayed onto equipment, walls or floors to both remove and kill bacteria or other organic matter that may be present. Ozone can also be injected or dissolved in water to provide rinsing or washing of food products such as meat, poultry, seafood, fruits or vegetables.

As an oxidizer, it is 51 times more powerful than chlorine, the oxidizer most commonly used by most food processors, and 3,000 times faster at killing bacteria and other microbes. Ozone is effective as a disinfectant at relatively low concentrations and does not leave toxic by-products similar to those related to chlorination.

Ozone is FDA and USDA approved. Compared to chlorine, ozone offers several advantages for food and beverage processors or anyone who wants to sanitize materials or surfaces. Chlorine has traditionally been the sanitizer of choice in the food processing industry, but experts share a growing concern about the dangerous byproducts such as trihalomethanes or dioxins produced when chlori ne reacts with organic matter in the water. These substances are known carcinogens and are regulated in drinking water by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

While chlorinated wash systems require transport and storage of potentially hazardous toxic chemicals, ozone is unique in that it is generated onsite from oxygen and can be produced on demand with no storage required. When the generator is turned off, there are no dangerous substances on the premises. While the oxidation reduction potential (ORP) of ozone is affected by the amount of organic matter or chemicals in the water, its ORP is not as sensitive to changes in pH as that of chlorine.Those companies or individuals interested in distributing the Aquentiumline of ozone equipment should contact Mark Taggatz, President & CEO.

Aquentium solar, inc. seeks jv opportunities

Aquentium Solar, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of Aquentium, Inc. announced today that the company is seeking Joint Venture Partners for the development of solar energy farms throughout the United States and internationally. Aquentium Solar is now seeking land owners that would be interested in using their land for the development of solar energy farms. Under proposed JV terms, Aquentium Solar would be responsible for the cost of all system designs, engineering, solar equipment and the installations.

If a concentrated solar power system was built that was a hundred mile by hundred mile square in size out in the Southwest (United States), which has some of the best solar resources in the entire world, or you covered 1 percent of the country's land with photovoltaics, either strategy would be more than enough to meet the country's entire energy demand.Creating solar farms to meet energy demands while avoiding concerns regarding greenhouse gas emissions could create hundreds of thousands jobs in the United States.

Another advantage of solar power is that it is usually produced during peak demand for electricity, for instance during hot summer days when air conditioners are often full-blast. That means that value of the electricity that it produces is significantly higher.

Photovoltaics have a slight advantage over solar thermal systems in that the latter do not require water, which can be an understandable advantage in the desert, where many solar farms are located. On the other hand, solar thermal systems can work in the shade for brief amounts of time, since the heated fluids they depend on can stay hot enough to generate electricity for some time without the sun, while photovoltaics need sunlight.

A typical home consumes 31kWhrs/day. Each day the sun hits the planet with 3-9kWh/sq. meter of free energy. The best solar panels are about 20% efficient in converting solar power to electricity. With these ideal assumptions, 50 sq meters provides almost enough power for the typical home.

The amount of energy from the sun that falls on Earth is staggering. Averaged over the entire surface of the planet, roughly each square yard collects nearly as much energy each year as you'd get from burning a barrel of oil. Solar farms seek to harness this energy for megawatts of power.

There are two ways solar power is used to generate electricity. Solar thermal plants - also known as concentrating solar power systems focus sunlight with mirrors, heating water and producing steam that drives electric turbines, while photovoltaic cells directly convert sunlight to electricity.​Altogether, solar currently makes up less than 1 percent of U.S. energy, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association.
